Charnwood Country Residence

Having said that, they still maintain a sense of dignity when dealing with the residents.

A lovely friendly home. Nurses have made my nan welcome and an easier change for her.

Very friendly staff but not enough of them. Really friendly place. Beautiful gardens. The entertainment caters for everyone, with different tastes. Very thoughtful to visitors when there has been an incident with a resident. The only think I find 'very' frustrating is the laundry situation. Clothes that aren't the residents, underwear and socks.

Visitors are welcomed at any time and can join in with delicious home cooked meals.

Three words: "First class care".

Brilliant. Staff are caring and professional and cope well with a demanding and sometimes impatient resident who often needs help to get in and out of bed, chair etc. Their patience is amazing. You truly have saved my life by giving me a much-needed break, without having to worry about my partner's care and wellbeing. Thank you.

My Nan very sadly passed away this afternoon at Charnwood. From the beginning of her residence here until the very end the professionalism and dedication of the staff have astounded me. Nan has received the utmost care and love and as a family, we could not have asked for more. Charnwood is more than a 'care' home, it's a 'home from home' filled with love, respect and dignity for all involved. We cannot thank the home and staff enough for all that they have done to keep my Nan safe, loved and with utmost dignity.

Nanny has been extremely well looked after during her time at Charnwood. The staff are friendly, professional, caring and couldn't do any more for residents and visitors. The home itself is bright and homely and plenty of activities to keep everyone occupied. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Charnwood to anyone.

They deserve to be highly recommended. An excellent home on all counts.

Content with the level of care provided. My father seems happy.

The continuity of care has been very consistent. Compassionate and encouraged to achieve her best quality of life. The family members are happy with the facilities and care provided.

Charnwood has the reassuring feel of a large family home. Resident care is exceptional as are the systems to ensure residents needs are met. The staff are extremely competent and very friendly. They are in constant interaction with the residents. The manager leads by example. Too many positives to mention for this review.

Earlier this year my mum moved into Charnwood Country Residence after a few months of being unwell. It was an emotional and upsetting time and something I had dreaded. However, thanks to Charnwood things become much better very quickly. I really do not have enough good things to say the staff at all levels are caring, helpful and really have a lot of time for all the residents. As a result of this, they have a lovely relationship with them and really get to know them as individuals. Everything was always clean, tidy and organised and we always enjoyed visiting. My mum was cared for in a lovely way.

My friend was made very welcome. Busy staff always are courteous, kind and listen. They treat the residents with dignity and respect. Visitors are welcome any time and are always offered tea and coffee. The atmosphere is homely and activities are offered in the afternoon. Residents are taken out in wheelchairs when the weather if fine for a local walk and also go in a minibus for outings further afield to have lunch or coffee. The food is good and well presented and there is always a choice of meals and desserts. Everywhere is spotless and clean. Residents are treated as individuals and each one's needs and preferences are respected, every person is made to feel special. A very happy home with a great family atmosphere.

I have found the response from all members of staff to be open, friendly and really caring. Because of this my mum has settled in really quickly. Their attention to finding out about mum's character and needs has been a breath of fresh air in a care system that is challenging. Consequently mum classes Charnwood Care Home. This I think gives me confidence that mum is happy and feels safe and secure.
